The news that Sventovet had docked in Mars' synchronous orbit quickly spread to every corner of the world and sparked widespread heated discussion on the Internet.
Three years have passed since the initial contact with Golovin.
In the past three years, everything about Golovin has been no secret. Whether it's the mysterious Gorovin mind system or the Sventovit starship soaked under the ice cap of Europa.
Of course, understanding is understanding, whether you can accept it is another matter.
Behind the fierce debate, public opinion is obviously polarized.
Some people believe that Gorovin is a threat, even more than the harmonious civilization on Gliese 1, which is 20.5 light-years away.
From the point of view of these people, everything that human civilization advocates is denied in the face of Golovin's mental system. For example, human rights, freedom, and even personality itself. A professor from the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Berlin even asserted that the characteristics of civilization displayed by Golovin are simply the same as the dystopias depicted in mainstream science fiction.
"Although Gorovin has not shown aggression for the time being, no one can guarantee that he will not do so in the future. Just like we all thought that the refugees were a vulnerable group at the beginning, until they finally got on top of us. Clones, autocracy ...Everything our civilization fights is taken for granted in their eyes. If our values cannot influence them, then they will eventually corrode our civilization. I hope that our allies will not be influenced by immediate interests. Blind, at least maintain a minimum level of vigilance..."
Others believe that Earth's civilization should accept these refugees. Compared with the opponents' opinions, their views are more radical, and some people even propose that refugee camps should be set up on the earth to accommodate these guests from far away, instead of driving them to the desolate Mars.
"... We cannot turn them away just because they are clones. I admit that human cloning is indeed intolerable morally and legally, and is an issue that cannot be compromised, but what we should oppose is human cloning. technology, rather than the poor people who have unfortunately become clones. No living being has the right to choose his own birth. If we exclude them just because of their birth, what is the difference between us and those nasty racists? " When interviewed by reporters, a representative of a European human rights organization replied this way.
Of course, in addition to the firm and clear-cut left and right factions, there are also quite a few people who hold a relatively neutral stance and express indifference to the news that Golovin has settled on Mars. Not to mention going to settle on Mars, it doesn't matter if you go to the sun to build a house, as long as you don't come against yourself, it will be fine.
After all, living with clones is quite scary when you think about it.
…
Just three days after Sventovet docked in Mars' synchronous orbit, a thousand Gorovians landed on Mars in a space elevator. In addition to the thousand crew members, there were also various types of space vehicles and some tools and production equipment designed by Gorovin himself.
Most of these tools and production equipment were produced in the past month through the mineral processing technology and 3D printing technology on the Sventovet.
As for the source of resources for producing these devices, according to Golovin I himself, when passing through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, they discovered titanium-rich asteroids with a diameter of about a hundred meters. .
First, a mass accelerator was used to launch mass bombs to crush the asteroid, and then mining wingmen were sent to collect slag to replenish the depleted resource inventory. Although Goluwen I said all this in a very relaxed tone, it was still quite shocking to Jiang Chen's ears.
He believes that the efficiency of outer space resource development in the future mining industry is still quite strong, but now it seems that this is just because the opponent that has always been used as a comparison is too weak.
Don’t say anything else.
A mass bomb shatters an asteroid with a diameter of one hundred meters.
This kind of lethality can only be achieved by the main gun of the Envoy class starship.
"One hundred starships..." Looking at the documents in front of him, Golovin I fell into deep thought. After a long time, he moved his eyes away from the conference table and looked at Jiang Chen sitting opposite, "I would like to ask , do you have so much time?"
The colony ship of the Harmonious Civilization is not far from the solar system.
One hundred starships seems more like an unachievable goal. After all, the Earth Fleet has only four starships so far. Even if it is produced at a constant rate of one starship a year, half a century later, the size of the Earth Fleet will only be fifty Envoy-class ships.
"If you look at this problem from a development perspective, I think it is not difficult. After all, until six years ago, we did not even have a space elevator. And today, six years later, we have even built colonies to Europa and On Europa." Sitting opposite Gorovin, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and continued, "I hope to leave the engine to you. I admit that in terms of warp engine technology, you have to go is farther than us."
"Producing a hundred warp engines in more than forty years?" After pondering for a moment, King Gorovin I slowly said, "If you can provide us with the resources we need, this is not a difficult task. But. What I want to say is, even if you can run faster than those insects, you may not be their opponent. Their understanding of the word war is much deeper than you and I."
The Sventovit is not known for its weapons. After all, they have only been fighting for survival since passing through the wormhole. The technology tree naturally focuses on improving the performance of the starship itself. As for the weapons, although there is no doubt that they are powerful, the mass accelerators on both sides of the ship are actually the same as when they set off from the Baikonur Space Launch Site, with almost no major changes.
"Whether we are their opponents or not, there is no reason for us to surrender, not to mention I don't think a hundred starships will lose to one. In addition, regarding the resources you need... I just have a proposal here."
Ge Luwen used his eyes to signal Jiang Chen to continue speaking.
"You can register a company and complete the defense alliance's orders as a company, and we will pay you. These rewards can be used to buy more resources, including food, fresh water, and liquid oxygen, which you cannot produce. Things... You may think that my proposal is a bit unnecessary, but after all, we do not have a Golovin mental system, and this is the best way for us to cooperate with each other that I can think of."
The silence lasted maybe two or three seconds.
Judging from his expression, Gorovin I was probably deep in thought.
After a moment, he looked at Jiang Chen again and nodded slightly.
"... an interesting proposal, I will consider it."
